I have visited Northern Ireland several times,I have friends who I met from my time at Royal Mail and used to meet them for fishing etc.
Shaun lives in Larne and Sammy lives in Ballynure,Ballymoney.
What I will say to those who have never visited that it is a wonderful place to go to,the North Antrim Coast is the most wonderful and magical place on Earth.
As for the sausages,Shaun always fed us with local Sausages, Bacon. Eggs and Potato cakes for breakfast etc and they are wonderful
I have been visiting since 1986 never witnessed anything other than kindness and great hospitalty from the people of Northern Ireland.
